Avoid Your Boss!

<div class="IPBDescription">share your ways.</div> In 15 minutes I leave for work. I thought this would be a pretty cool thread to post, maybe we can all learn something.

It all depends on the boss, I may be more lucky than others. My boss is this neat freak, ubsessive routine guy, so I can tell when he's out. I work at an Airport, driving a fuel truck. So I can always cruise around the airport looking for people who want to buy fuel, (private planes). I usually do that for 45 minutes, come back and talk to him for 5 minutes, then leave again for another 45; come back and do the same thing.

He always leaves his radio on his desk when he's out for lunch, or some sort of meeting. He also cleans up before he leaves.

What works best for me is, if I walk into the office building and he's on the phone, I wave, then disappear. That way I don't have to hear him, and he knows I'm around.


yep....

    I don't avoid my boss, I get along with her just fine. In fact, when I first get into work there isn't much to do so I kill about 30 minutes talking to her. She's a little psychotic w/ violent tendancies towards those she's mad at, so there's always some hilarious events to talk about.

    I essentially have three bosses. One is the head chef, the one above him is the hotel's General Manager and the one above him is the Managing Director.
    I get on well with the chef. He used to be an aircraft tech (or something like that) in the RAF so we talk about that sort of thing sometimes. The GM loves computer games but he gets annoyed easily. I've never met the Managing Director.

    I play Tony Hawks 4 and TimeSplitters 2 with my boss pretty much
    all day every day..... just lucky I guess <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Every now and then I have to make him a cup of coffee, but
    we usally do "Coffee Cup", which basically means we play
    first to 3 wins on a certain game, and the loser makes the coffee.

    As soon as he can get three hundred thousand points on a two minute
    run on Tony Hawks, THEN i might get a little scared. But my five hundred
    and eighty eight thousand record is still unmatched. (Crappy score but
    I barely try!) :-D

    My boss works in a separate classified area so I have an excuse not to visit him!

    Best thing to do is hang out with your boss so much that one of the following happens:
    1. You become friends. Easy way to prevent getting fired, and you'll be the first on their mind for a promotion.
    2. You annoy them to the point that they avoid <i>you</i>. Doing the avoiding is now on their mind rather than yours, so you now can dedicate yourself to working, becoming eligible for a promotion, and they'll look bad. You take their job.

    Of course the above is subject to a good number of other variables, but it's nice to fantasize about.

    Yes find ways to get along with your superiors and everythings fine. My bosses all like me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> They are always like "Hey Cpl.Davis hows life?" etc. You get along with them, they get along with you life is good.

    I don' t have to try. I get along fine with my boss, as long as i've not got too much on my plate they don't mind if i just browse the web, come on here, or whatever. So it's all good.

    Was expecting people to get hormonal over a female boss. Glad I proved wrong. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
